Les Trois Mousquetaires Milady

Formerly brewed at Les Trois Mousquetaires
Style: German Kristallweizen
Brossard, Canada

The Lure:
Light grain and minute cloves wander amidst the citrus bread. Simple, well-made, but nothing outstanding so far.

The Festivities:
A creamy mouthfeel showcases more cloves than the aroma. Banana sweetness and meek citrus fruit colour the bready suggestions. A good beer without any flaws, but this style can’t score well though on hedonistic levels. A fine beach beer.

Transcendence:
A pleasant way to cure a sun burn.

Anemic lightly hazed yellow beer with a big bubbled thick white head. Light bananas ans cloves in aroma, with light lemony points. In mouth, nice crisp malt, light clove notes, and definite lemon in finale. Actually quite pleasant, even if bottle is 6 months old.

Sample at the Mondial. Light blonde, with no head and little visible carbonation...sour banana, a bit of vanilla in the aromatic nose which turns rather sweeter as time flies...sour, dry and somewhat thin with litlte fruity esteriness in the body...so little to say, it’s got a bit more body and flavor than tonic water but is just very, very dull.

Bananas, cream and bubblegum in lightly metallic aroma. Clear yellow-gold with large bubbles of carbonation presenting a shy ring of white head. Lightly tart, unripe banana flavour with some pleasant wheat character. Light body with strong carbonation. Texture is a bit sticky. Sampled at Mondial de la Bière 2005.

Bottle (341ml). Shared with blankboy, my bottle via trade with turg. Poured pale hazy bubbly gold with a good-sized white foamy head. Yeasty and fruity aroma, lemon, banana, sugar and some spice and funky herbal notes - kind of like a belgian wit knock-off. Taste is honey and lemon, with banana, coriander (I guess - bitter spice, anyway) and cloves - a little unblended, but a good patio thirst-quencher. Mouthfeel is watery, lively, sweet and sticky - not bad, another style ticked off, but not really my thing. Thanks for the trade, turg!

beige with good initial head, some yeast aroma. Drinkable, OK for this style, in fact surprisingly better than expected. Light wheat, banana and lots of malting.

Slightlly hazy , bright withe head . Nice top . Yeasty aroma, wheat brew . Clean , refreshing brew . Not oustatnding , but solid brew craft .

Slightly hazy light pastel yellow sports a small fluffy white head. Yeasty aroma is mildly estery with traces of banana and bubble gum that I may not have picked out as readily were I not aware of the style. Flavour is similar with more yeast and lemon emerging as the banana falling to a lesser role. Touch water, palate is on the thin side. Blander than it could be but not unpleasant.
